At the centre of the feature documentary Come In From the Cold is the massive Douglas C-124 Globemaster military transport aircraft. To realise the epic and cinematic recreation sequences, Titan II have built a highly accurate and detailed 3D model of the aircraft. Photographing and lidar scanning one of the remaining 8 C-124’s we built the plane, panel by panel in order to get a full 360 degree capability for use in the dramatic reconstruction elements within the film.

This is a quick breakdown of the process, showing photos of the original plane in 1951, reference images and stills of the model build, and some test composites within fully 3D environments including fully volumetric clouds.
